Product Description
Stay in touch while riding the streets in style with the VCAN 210 B1. This 2nd generation full modular helmet comes fully equipped with improved bluetooth 2.0 technology to insure compatibility with your bluetooth enabled cell phone or iPhone. With two speakers and up to 15 hours of continuous talk time and 600 hours of standby time, the V210 B1 allows you to use your iPhone or standard cell phone, listen to stereo music streaming from your MP3, phone, or XM radio, as well as listen to GPS directions clearly. Combine two or more V210 B1 helmets, and enjoy communications from rider to passenger, and passenger to rider (intercom), or talk bike to bike (2-way communications within 10 meters). Other features include a noise cancelling microphone, full duplex communications with DSP filter, self adjusting volume, glove friendly and waterproof controls. Multifunction LED indicators let you know when your battery is low. When this occurs, simply use the 110 volt/220 volt charger included and you'll receive a full charge in just 6 hours. Though the V210B1 is hot on technology, the primary focus is safety. This DOT approved helmet is constructed of ultra light thermoplastic material and is aerodynamically shaped for ease of cutting through the air with less buffeting and wind noise, thus lessening the stress on the riders neck muscles after a long ride. The face cover lock mechanism exceeds expectations for safety by utilizing metal pins and hooks, making it extremely resistant to opening in the event of an accident. The flow thru ventilation system helps keep you comfortable, while the anti-scratch, quick release and sun visors help keep your perspective clear. The inner lining is fully removable and washable. The Black V210 B1 models come in 6 different sizes with both glossy and flat black finishes to fit you and your personality perfectly.

I have a Honda VTX 1800 with Vance & Hines Big Shots pipes, and also a 150cc scooter. I use this helmet with both bikes, and I have good experiences with both. I have an iPhone, and the helmet connects seamlessly. Audio streaming is great, whether it is from the iPod or other 3rd-party audio streaming apps. Phone functionality is great...couldn't be simpler. One button to answer calls, push the same button again to hang up. Pressing the button twice will redial your last number called. Admittedly, the twisting volume control is a little difficult when wearing bulkier winter gloves. Even at speeds of 50-60mph on my cruiser, people on the other end of my phone call state that they have no problem understanding me. They can tell that I'm not talking into my phone as normal, but there have been no quality complaints (I always use the phone function with the helmet in the "full-face" position). I have not used it with GPS yet, but plan to soon.Using it for daily commuting, I don't have to charge the battery but once/week (my commute totals 1:15 every day).The one thing I wish this helmet had is AVRCP controls so that I could pause/skip tracks.Overall, I love it, and this is the only helmet I have used since I bought it a year ago.*UPDATE* -- I recently bought the Navigon GPS app from the iTunes App Store. The audio streams right into the helmet with no issues! Depending on settings in the app, you can either pause any audio you are listening to, or have the audio duck under the GPS directions. Either way, I'm happy with the way the helmet performs with my GPS app.

The comment I see on most bluetooth helmets is they are not loud enough. You are on a MOTORCYCLE. The idea of the music is a little nice background music. This is not for blasting techno going down the highway at 120. You need to hear stuff around you. This is for riding around town with a little rock music to make you feel cool. My shadow 750 has no cobra pipes or anything that would drown out noise so I can hear music fine over that, but if you have a 1500 with a superloud muffler, I wouldn't count on being able to have a nice conversation. The sound is almost stereo but seems to gravitate towards the right ear. Im fairly certain this was by design to not kill you.Helmet is of decent quality, the instructions are the most unfriendly mess I have ever seen, the flipdown fighter pilot shield and modular front are awesome, and the battery/bluetooth module feel a little chinsy.Allinall its what I expected. This isn't a 500$ helmet model, but I was hoping for just a bit more...but just a bit.

It has all the things I wanted in a helmet. Seems to operate fine so far. Its a little noisy but I fits fine and seemed to sync up with my I-phone ok.
